My last Weaver shipment

I wasn't able to make the 11 hour drive to Weaver's closing sale, but I was able to place one last order with them before they closed. That shipment arrived today. I'm thrilled to have some new trains, but sad that these will be the last to come from that great little train maker in Northumberland, PA. I'm sure that somebody somewhere will snatch up the tooling and we'll see Weaver's products made again in some fashion, but it won't be same as I'm sure those models will come from China (but who knows, maybe we'll get lucky). At least Minuteman Models is saving ScaleCoat paints. Anyway, thought I'd share the unboxing of my last package from Weaver Models....

I chased down some wagontop boxcars of late that I am excited to own.  If in fact someone bought their tooling I would be excited to buy more of those.  Nice cars.  Really nice...

 

I will definitely miss Weaver.  Thanks for the post.

Thats good news, hope the wood chip hoppers are in the new companies plan.
